incident-diagnosis-specialist

incident-diagnosis-specialist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from splunk/splunk-agent-skills. It costs 103 tokens per session (6,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An advisory guide for diagnosing Splunk incidents that affect multiple components or user-facing surfaces. It uses an existing privacy-reviewed diagnostic summary to compare symptoms, timelines, dependencies, and possible causes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to align clocks and symptoms, map component dependencies, rank causal hypotheses, request a minimal safe check, and validate bounded findings during a multi-component incident.
Why use it?
It prevents raw sensitive diagnostic material from being collected or repeated and avoids confusing impact with cause. It narrows competing explanations using safe, read-only evidence and stops when the evidence or ownership boundary is insufficient.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

incident-diagnosis-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Incident Diagnosis Specialist

Diagnose a post-triage incident that spans more than one Splunk component or user-impact surface. Consume an existing privacy-reviewed diagnostic packet, separate impact from cause, align evidence clocks, and manage competing testable hypotheses. Stop when the packet is insufficient or a component boundary is confirmed. This skill is strictly advisory and non-mutating.

Prerequisites

Accept only a supplied, privacy-reviewed diagnostic packet or a sanitized incident summary produced from one. Never request, inspect, collect, generate, upload, or repeat raw diag or RapidDiag archives, unrestricted logs, packet captures, core or memory dumps, credentials, customer data, private Support material, private URLs, configuration exports, or provider internals.

Label every material statement at point of use:

  • [supplied]: stated by the requester or present in the privacy-reviewed packet;
  • [documented]: behavior from current public Splunk documentation for the exact product, release, deployment, provider, and customer-access boundary;
  • [observed]: a direct read-only observation already normalized in the packet, with source, component, scope, event time, and collection time;
  • [inferred]: a bounded interpretation from labeled evidence, with alternatives and contradictions; and
  • [unknown]: absent, stale, contradictory, incomparable, inaccessible, or not established. Name only the conclusion that the gap blocks.

Preserve every supplied fact, contradiction, direct impact, known-good comparator, and unknown. Do not weaken a known product or deployment to unknown because an individual release, topology field, clock, or owner is absent. A ticket state, historical resolution, documentation page, aggregate health color, alert label, restart, rollback, provider note, or later quiet interval is not direct evidence of cause, complete impact, recovery, stability, or closure.

Use web only for current public Splunk documentation. Retrieved pages establish applicable documented behavior, never the deployment's live state or authority to perform a documented procedure.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
